browser troubles

[kengr]

I found an interesting tmblr the other day and I'm slowly working my way thru the back posts. Lots of "interesting" images.

One link I followed from it took me to another tumblr. This one showed up as nothing but image after image. Almost all NSFW.

So I had it open in another tab and was merrily saving images. Then Firefox crashed once I was *ay* done the page. I restarted, and due to the way that sort of tumbler page loads, it took an hour or more to get that far down the page again (we are talking hundreds, maybe thousands of inages).

I got to whee I'd been before (reloading the page puts you back at the toip *heavy sigh*)and Firefox crashed again. I can take a hint.

I tried the page in Chrome. Took the usual forever to get that far down. And Chrome crashed. Ditto for Opera.

So far Safari hasn't crashed. but a simple "click" of the scroll wheel (ie minimum rotation) takes 10-20 seconds to do anything. And right clicking to save doesn't have a menu come uop until I twitch the scroll wheel one more click. But at least I *can* still progress thru the images.

Not sure how I'd go about filing a bug report on this for any of the browsers, given that while the bug is *quite* reproducible, the page is intensely NSFW.

Oh yeah, if I accidentally click on an image on the page, I get just that image. And no (apparent) way back to the full page. Escape doesn't seem to work, and the back button takes me back to the page that was open before I went to the Monstrous Page opf Images. Whoich means it takes forever to get back to where I was. By now, that's *hours* of slowly creeping down it and waiting for another section to load.

Though part of that is me switching back to Firfox to keep browsing and reading my usual sites.

I'm amazed that pages like this are possible. And moderately annoyed.

Given that the page isn't loading completely. It just loads more as you scroll down farther, I suspect that the source will be miles long.

I'm pretty sure the crashes are just because it's so insanely huge. the fact that a lot of the pics are animated gifs probably doesn't help.

Ugh. View source shows some weird javascript stuff. And given that some of the stuff involved is strings of hex that cover half a dozen lines with word wrap turned on, it's not something I'm gonna try to decode.

That explains why wget get got me something equally weird (after 6+ hours)

Actually, I think it's "working as designed". Just really lousy design.

Probably not to your taste, but just looking without scrolling shouldn't break things. (remember, NSFW).

Something that may be closer to your taste is a case of "instant karma" over on Customers Suck

*wakes up* oh, yeah. i've found pages like that; the more you scroll down, the more images it loads, and i get the impression browsers don't handle this gracefully. i've tried it with firefox and chrome; i'm not dumb enough to try it with IE.

and as for the tumblr you mentioned.. where else can you see the work of Nitrotitan, Incase and Kamitora in one place, except maybe some of the more extreme boorus?

I tried it with am older version of IE and it crashed, but not *that* much sooner than Firefox, Chrome or Opera. But Safari doesn't crash. At least not as far down as I got.

I just wish there was a way to get all of those images. *sigh* I'd take having them all and then having to toss the ones I don't want over missing out on so many.

i kept scrolling down until firefox had allocated about 2GB of ram; that's when it crashed. i gather that other people have the same problem. i'll ask around - maybe someone has been archiving it all.
